Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class receives a new hybrid-powered variant, the ML450 Hybrid. The rest of the lineup stays the same, though the ML320 Bluetec gets a mild increase of torque and a new name: ML350 Bluetec.

• Wide range of engines including diesel and hybrid, comfortable for five, high-quality interior materials and construction.

• Fussy electronics controls, non-V8 models are rather pokey, expensive for the segment, hybrid not that fuel efficient.

  Great car, horrible NAVIGATION interface - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Anonymous - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Love the car. Great MPG for the size, great price with all the incentives. The Nav interface has to be taken back to the drawing board. The search function is frustrating. The voice recognition is average to poor. Other than the electronics, I love the car. Its easy to drive, handles well and has enough power to merge onto a busy highway.

  Great mileage & looks but - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By TD - November 2 - 8:00 am

  The mileage is stunning for a car of this size; were getting about 500+ miles per tank, and thats mostly city driving. The car looks great, too. BUT, the COMMAND system (nav, radio, phone) is pretty AWFUL. Our Acuras nav system is far more pleasing and 100% more intuitive. Even the nav voice is annoying.

  The #1 HONEST Turbo Diesel Review - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By #1 Diesel Review - October 14 - 8:33 pm

  We live in the hills and noticed right away the ride is more stiff this year, making it safer on curvy roads. This is a Diesel that gets up and goes, not sluggish like diesels of the past. My wife and I enjoy being in this SUV, to us the interior looks elegant. You want safety?--Get this SUV - you WILL feel safer. A/C and Heating works excellent - keeping steady temperatures. BE SURE TO GET BLACK FLOOR MATS - other colors will get dirty and look terrible very soon. We are averaging 24 Miles Per Gallon of Diesel (city and highway combined)- that is great for such a big SUV! It got more noisy after about 500 miles for some reason.

  Huge improvement! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By mh - February 9 - 7:23 pm

  I had a 2006 ML 350 with multiple problems. I was interested in a 2010 GL, but just couldnt justify the 85k sticker price with options. I took a 2010 ML350 for a drive and was very surprised at the improvements. The seats are unbelievable, and while everything looks similar to the 2006 model, there are improvements at every level. The ride was always great, especially on the highway, but the 2010 is even more comfortable. The fit and finish is better than any car I have ever owned (previous MB, BMW, etc...)

  2010 ML-350 - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Brad - October 18 - 11:00 pm

  Weve had the car a month and absolutely love it. I can only compare this to a German tank. My wife uses it for business and drive between Philadelphia, NY and Washington D.C. every week and I feel this vehicle is one of the safest I have driven (also own a Volvo). Great to load the family and go for long drives. Cant wait to take it to New England this summer.

  Absolutely love this car!!!! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By TessAnn - August 10 - 4:56 am

  I previously owned a 2006 Volvo XC90 Ocean Race. It was a great car but lacked a lot of technology. When shopping, I was ultimately looking for a less gas consuming vehicle. I made the choice to buy the mercedes because of the overall quality; comfort, luxury, beauty, gas mileage, etc. The engine is a V6 which provides a good amount of power but not compared to my Volvo which was a V8. However, I can manage because the Mercedes gets superior gas mileage. I live in Los Angeles, which means lots of city driving, and I am getting 500-600 miles on one tank. I find relief in knowing that the car is better for the environment than hybrids with the clean diesel system. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!

  2010 Bluetec - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By IowaMercedes - June 20 - 11:03 am

  Purchased 2010 Bluetec in May 2010, so far we have been very happy with the vehicle. We have just about all of the options on the vehicle, including the P1 and P2 as well as lighting. While it has taken a little bit of time to get used to location of some of the switches, we have not had any issues at all and the mileage has been phenomenal. We have ranged from 26 mpg to 30 mpg, with an average of about 27 mpg. The rear seat has plenty of room and the storage in the back is excellent. Really fits about exactly what we need for a short vacation or taking the golf clubs with us. The vehicle performs well, accelerates just fine into busy traffic and is relatively quiet.

  ML450 - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By sergio4matic - December 30 - 5:30 pm

  I got the HYBRID Limited-Production ML450 because my son convinced me to. I am so happy he did. I get 20MPG on average and have the feeling im driving an ML550 which gets a mere 14 MPG. I sacrificed nothing, and in the city, it runs mostly on electric power.

  Great SUV--but not cheap! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Brad - October 17 - 7:33 am

  We sold a 2006 Pathfinder SE 4x4 for the ML350 4matic. So far, we are extremely pleased with ride quality, comfort and overall ergonomics. The cargo area is plenty big (almost as big as the Pathfinder with the 3rd row folded down), and the standard features are all very nice (well, with Package 1). With options, it came out to nearly $56K MSRP, which is a bit high, considering you can get a comparably equipped and styled MDX or Lexus for a few $$ cheaper. But overall, we are pleased with the styling, performance, and ride...and it has the latest and greatest safety features, which makes me feel comfortable when the wife and kids are out without me.

  Wow!! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By MBat40 - September 11 - 9:16 pm

  I only have about 900 miles on this SUV so far, but its been the best 900 miles Ive ever driven. Granted, I traded in my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 104,00 miles on it, but still, what a difference. Its like going from sitting in coach to first class. I look forward to driving it everyday. Its such a smooth and solid ride you have to be impressed. Its a much more luxurious ride than the BMW X5 I test drove, which was fun and sporty, but not the comfort I was looking for. Its hard to comment on reliability with only 900 miles on it, but so far so good.
